The coral reef is a complex, exciting, alive and marvelous ecosystem, the result of the work of billions of organisms called coral polyps. The coral formations that we can now admire in these shores have appeared on the planet about 200 million years ago, feeding on unicellular algae, zooxantelles, which require a large amount of sunlight for the photosynthesis process that allows calcium contained in the water of sea to cling to the rigid structure surrounding the octopus.
Despite the effects of global warming, Red Sea corals developed unusually high tolerance to extreme temperatures, salinity and occasional turbidity, mostly caused by seasonal sand storms. In addition, the clarity of the water is exceptional, also due to the absence of river discharge and low precipitation.
Of the over 1200 species of recorded fish, about 10% is endemic (not elsewhere). You can admire over 300 species of hard corals of over 50 genres, a unique feature of coral reefs in the Red Sea.
